@sarae It lets me know it was seen, and I was heard. If you just scroll, there is zero interaction. I'm not here for that. Comment, boost, or leave a little star that means "hey, I see you" at the very least. Sometimes I post things and they get nothing, and that's honestly a bit depressing.

Hey All - yeah everything sucks but I have an easy actionable thing to channel your rage!
️ The US Forest Service is proposing to rescind the Roadless Rule. Created 25 years ago, this rule protects millions of acres from unnecessary roadbuilding and harmful industrial development.

What to Do: Send your Congress people a letter, email, fax, call them, to ask them to keep the Roadless Rule.

There is an automated letter here you can electronically submit that Southern Environmental Law put together: https://act.selc.org/page/90991

Free fax contact info of all reps by state: https://faxzero.com/fax_congress.php

If this sounds familiar, it is because I posted about it last year when this first came out. *It is still being fought!* So please, speak up again, speak up now. You can also ask them to pass HR3930 while you are at it: "Roadless Area Conservation Act".

@Edelruth hi

@skinnylatte Not just you. Similarly, I find the Midwest’s racism more annoying than the Southeast’s. Midwest is hidden whereas here it’s just in your face so you know who exactly you are dealing with right away, rather than finding out a year down the road your new friend is racist as fuck when something happens and they let it out because they cant hide forever their true nature.

@blogdiva please forgive me, it's been a day, am I reading this correctly that essentially, anything AI/LLM made is not copyrightable and thus we can do whatever the heck we want with it and companies can't do shit about it? And since it has zero value (because it cannot be copyrighted)...this will lead (hopefully) to it's collapse. Thus...all this is good news...right? Or am I missing something? Please let this be good news...

Some passage from a cave the other day, in a State Park working with the rangers.
